About Us
Eating disorders affect nearly 3 million Canadians from all walks of life. They are a serious but treatable mental illness that require a long and committed recovery journey.
Eating Disorders Nova Scotia is a community-based organization that passionately believes everyone should have the access to the support they need for recovery. An eating disorder diagnosis or referral is not required and our barrier-free services are available virtually across Canada and in-person in the Halifax area.
We offer educational workshops plus interactive activities like yoga, craft 'n chat and supper club. Our core offering, however, is peer support for individuals and their family and friends. These support groups provide an opportunity to learn, connect with others and build skills for recovery. Concurrent to this, we also offer one-on-one mentoring for folks who need extra support.
Additionally, as recognized leaders in the realm of peer support, we offer customized training specific to other organizations interested in developing their own peer support programs (eating disorder-centric or otherwise).
Finally, we have extensive experience presenting a variety of learning opportunities for groups wanting to create a workplace that supports mental health and eating disorders sensitivity. Let's work together to tailor an employee event that increases morale, eases discomfort and creates a better workplace for all.
We Heal Together.
